The Brazil and former and Manchester City striker Jô has been released by Atlético Mineiro because of indiscipline.
Atlético Mineiro released the striker and two other players on Monday, saying they committed a “serious” breach of team rules after a Brazilian league match this weekend. Club officials did not elaborate.
Jô had already been punished by the club this year after failing to arrive at practice on time. He had claimed he was undergoing family problems. Jô missed some matches before playing in the team’s 1-0 loss to Atlético Paranaense on Sunday

Former City and Cska fan favourite :)
He was dirt it always felt like he was operating a couple of seconds behind the rest of the team.Hard to believe he was at the World Cup wearing a brazil shirt.

I still can't believe this guy has over 20 caps for mighty Brazil. Mind blowing.

Tbf so does Fred. Maybe they have a fetish for crap strikers with English names.

Jo could have been decent.
He's just a waster, that's the problem. Got worse instead of better.

Jo had a fantastic agent. Managed to con Club after Club to pay him ridiculous wages. Brazilian forward must be good. Lazy waste of space.

He scored goals though. Not for us mind, but he did score goals.

He averaged a goal every 21 games for City.Not even worth thinking about the fee we paid for that spoofer
